Moroccan Inspired  Sardine Fish Fry Hi guys, I tried my hands on a new Sardine Recipe last week and believe me it was a hit. Its basically a moroccan inspired dish. I was getting bored with my usual sardine recipes like either frying them or making indian style fish currys or s imply baking them. I wanted to jump out of the box  for a new recipe and came across this one.  I have a very few changes, i have replaced the chermoula with more of green rather than red colour using Green capsicum but u can use Red capsicum and adjust spices accordingly.

I used Corn crumbs instead and it was simply perfect. We had a feast last week, i served them hot with steam rice, indian fish cury and my moroccan fish and potatoes with some colourfull dippings. ...
